I’m sure Ivey Deschanel, the genius behind the ‘Snatch’ label, won’t be offended when I say that usually her designs are anything but classy. Ivey’s work is best described as ‘loud, trashy, sexy and in your face’ and I’m not being an arse-licker when I say that I have yet to find anything in ‘Sn@tch’ that I didnt like. Aimed primarily at the Neko/Goth/Emo/Rock market, it’s a store that is *bursting* at the seams with prim pleasures that make you go all gooey in unmentionable places. It’s a bloody treasure trove, and it’s priced so ruddy reasonably that I wonder if Ivey ever makes a profit. If you’ve ever had the pleasure to meet her you’ll know that she is an absolute star too- she describes her designs as clothes that she’d ‘..love to wear in real life..’ Well, you and me both on that one Ivey, especially with your latest releases. Can you believe that this beautiful halter neck dress is by Ivey? I know! Isn’t it stunning? This floor-length beauty comes in a number of patterns, but the black and white one screamed at me to buy it. So I did, and I teamed it with a hair freebie (yes, a freebie!) from Sirena at Hair Fair called Zoey, and my fave earrings by Yummy to create this look. Of course, you can’t see the floor length skirt on this but trust me, it’s sensational. As per usual the textures are spot on and I *so* want this dress in real life! (It would hide all my wobbly bits, and there’s plenty of those!) But do you see what I mean about classy? Make no mistake, every wardrobe needs one of these, and at..wait for it…L$150 a pop you can buy all three. (Yes, I know..she’s crackers isn’t she?) It just goes to show that you should explore EVERY store on the grid for clothing possibilities. Even if you don’t ‘do’ Neko or other genres especially, it’s still worth visiting the stores that cater to those lifestyle’s just because you find wonders like this one. I also heartily recommend that you join Ivey’s subscribe-o-matic to be kept up to date with her releases. The notecards that she sends out are a pleasure to read; highly entertaining and she also keeps you up-to-date on her freebies. You can get a rather fabulous outfit called ‘Jailbait’ in store for absolutely bugger all if you’re quick…so, what are you waiting for? Here’s your taxi to Snatch!

Hang on, it’s showing as 67, 335 avatars logged in. I’ve seen it over 70k before and it managed ok, so what gives?
My name is Kitty, and I’m a Hair Fair 2008 survivor!
Yes, I battled on through the lag sludge whilst managing to restrain myself from killing avatars in ballgowns and as a result I have have enough shiny new hair happiness in my inventory to last until at least next week year!
Seriously folks, it’s *excellent*. Hair Fair is based on an Aztec theme and it’s bursting at the seams with freebies..I’ve never had so much free stuff in my entire Second Life! As for the hair, well it’s stunning. Designers old and new have their very best on display and the actual prices are very reasonable. Be sure to check out the vendors who are giving 50% of their profits from particular styles to the ‘Locks of Love’ charity. I’ll be featuring all my happy hairiness on these pages over the coming week.
Remember Hair Fair lasts for a fortnight, so don’t panic, there’s *plenty* of time to shop if you can’t get in on your first attempt..it’s taken me a good few visits to see it all myself, but it’s worth the stress!
